Dietary Bile Acid Supplementation Improves Lipid Metabolism and Selected Egg Quality Traits in Late-Phase Laying Hens Fed a High-Fat Diet and Is Associated with Alterations in Gut Microbiota.
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
High-fat diets may improve energy supply in laying hens, but they can also increase fat deposition in the liver and contribute to fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS), a metabolic disorder that impairs hen health and egg production. Bile acids (BAs), which are natural compounds produced in the liver to support fat digestion and metabolic regulation, may help reduce these negative effects. This study evaluated the effects of dietary BA supplementation on production performance, selected egg quality traits, lipid-related indices, liver histology, and cecal microbiota in late-phase laying hens fed a high-fat diet (HFD). A total of 150 Hy-Line Brown laying hens at 50 weeks of age were allocated either a normal diet (ND), a HFD, or a HFD supplemented with 300 mg/kg BAs (HFD + BAs) for 5 weeks. Compared with the HFD group, BA supplementation affected average daily feed intake (ADFI) and increased the Haugh unit (HU) (
